I don't think you have to automatically support a team just because there from your home town. As an example i'm a Liverpool fan even though i'm not from that area. I still check results for my home town team but I don't support them. People can support any team they want, be they close to home or the other side of the world, but once you pick a team you should stick with them.

I've been a Liverpool fan for the last 18 years, and for most of that time the team hasn't won very much, but i'd never change my colours. Any true fan would stick with there team through good and bad.

You'll always get glory supporters, who back the team that's just won something, if that's what they want to do let them. At the end of the day there the one's losing out
